High-reflectance and single layer MoS 2: two new forms

MoS 2 has been prepared in two new physical forms by treatment of sulfided Ni-Mo/Al 2O 3 catalysts with hydrofluoric acid. The first consists of O.2 × 3 mm pellets which do not have the cleavage present in natural molybdenite but upon crushing produce irregular shiny particles. These highly reflecti...

Summary:MoS 2 has been prepared in two new physical forms by treatment of sulfided Ni-Mo/Al 2O 3 catalysts with hydrofluoric acid. The first consists of O.2 × 3 mm pellets which do not have the cleavage present in natural molybdenite but upon crushing produce irregular shiny particles. These highly reflecting particles are crystalline and contain five to ten MoS 2 layers per crystallite. In the second form essentially all the MoS 2 is present as single layers either supported on or mixed with carbon.
